     All Hogwarts Legacy spells list and the best ones for combat

Wondering which Hogwarts Legacy spells you can cast in the halls of the famous school? Spellcasting is, of course, one of the biggest draws of attending Hogwarts - that and getting into magical mischief - so which spells will we be able to use in Hogwarts legacy, and how will spellcasting and combat work?

Counting all of the contextual spells, there are 31 learnable Hogwarts Legacy spells in total. Of these 31 spells, you can allocate 23 to up to four different spell slots, which you can get by unlocking the relevant Hogwarts Legacy talents with points earned by leveling up to the max level cap.

     Dota 2 patch clamps down on cheaters as console commands take a hit

While February 28's Dota 2 patch is relatively small, it takes aim at cheats and console commands, no doubt a result of Valve's recent ban wave that wiped out over 40,000 cheaters in the longstanding MOBA.

     Hogwarts Legacy Demiguise Statue and Moon locations

Are you scratching your head trying to find all of the Hogwarts Legacy Demiguise Statue locations? By far one of the more annoying collectibles in the game, it's not until you have a word with Gladwin Moon back in Hogwarts that you learn about these owl-like figurines that contain Demiguise Moons. The trick is that, during the day, you can't interact with them, but you can pinch their moon during the night.

Hogwarts Legacy locks are intricately linked with Demiguise Statues and Moons, however, unlike other collectibles in the open-world game, such as the Daedalian keys, you will find Demiguise Statues scattered across every region, not just in Hogwarts. There are 30 Demiguise Statues to find, and the game doesn't count the two from Gladwin's quest as part of your search. We've got the details on all the Demiguise locations in the RPG game - just make sure you press F (or R3 on controller) when you're on the Hogwarts Legacy map screen to wait until night-time, so you can pluck the moons from their grasp.

     Sons of the Forest rebreather location and how to get it

Struggling to find the the Sons of the Forest rebreather location? Endnight's cannibal-infested open world is full of secrets, but the most elusive by far are the ones lurking beneath the surface. Large bodies of water have a chance of leading to underwater caves hiding precious loot – but you'll need to equip the Sons of the Forest rebreather before you can access them.

Along with the rope gun, knowing how to get the Sons of the Forest rebreather is necessary for reaching the Sons of the Forest shovel, which itself can then be used for digging up any Sons of the Forest grave - one of which will uncover a GPS locator and the shotgun. Consequently, you'll want to make the Sons of the Forest rebreather location your first port of call in Endnight's horror game, which could well be one of the best PC games of 2023. Without further ado, here's how to reach the Sons of the Forest rebreather location.

     Avatar Frontiers of Pandora release date window, trailers and gameplay

The Avatar Frontiers of Pandora release date has been a tricky thing to nail down, but with the latest entry in the film series finally in cinemas, it hopefully won't be long before you can traverse the dense jungles of Pandora yourself. Tackling the Western Frontier and using nature itself as your weapon, you'll be tasked with pushing back the RDA forces and reclaiming what is rightfully yours.

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is an action adventure game from developers Massive Entertainment, whose previous offerings include the Division 2, and South Park: The Fractured but Whole. In Frontiers of Pandora, you'll take control of the Na'Vi in a never before seen region of the planet; the Western Frontier. You'll have to use every resource at your disposal to come out victorious in what will hopefully be one of the best PC games of 2023, or whichever year it ends up releasing in.

     The best indie games on PC 2023

Deciding on the very best indie games on PC is a task that involves some painful exclusion. The great indie boom triggered by digital distribution a decade ago turned out to be more of a Big Bang, firing small-team development into a plethora of directions that now defy simple categorisation. The sheer volume is intimidating, so we have plenty to choose from when compiling our list of the best indie games. Perhaps too much.

But we should take stock, from time to time, to appreciate everything publisher-less development has given us. Some of the games listed below were built in a weekend by first-time coders, while others were crafted by former triple-A creators who've instilled their independent work with the same technical standards. They barely have anything in common but a healthy dose of idiosyncrasy and ideas that make Steam worth spelunking and make our list of the best PC games.

     The Forest cheats and console commands

The Forest cheats and console commands are the best and simplest way to make your life of survival from the creepy cannibals a little easier.

Compared to the best The Forest mods, which have some wild and wacky possibilities like altering the tides and respawning trees, these console commands are more straightforward. While you need to take some steps to enable The Forest cheats and console commands, which we've outlined at the bottom of this guide, once you know how to do it everything is quite simple. You can skip the initial plane crash sequence, teleport to any coordinates of your choosing, kill animals at the push of a button, and even enable god mode.

Aside from the newly added PvP colosseums, Elden Ring has been relatively quiet after selling a gazillion copies and winning every game of the year award in existence (except for the coveted RPS one.) Fans have been clamouring for DLC and you'd expect a big expansion announcement to coincide with the game's first anniversary - February 25th - but developer FromSoftware chose to celebrate the mega-RPG's birthday three days later - this morning. In a Twitter post, FromSoftware announced Elden Ring's first expansion called Shadow Of The Erdtree.
